ABRAHAM -vs- MIRANDA II ~ June 21st LIVE on SHOWTIME!

[Guest]

Heres some footage of Allan Green, who stylistically is nothing like Edison Miranda. He makes excellent work of his jab, throws quick, short left hooks and counters very well.

Yes and he consistenly makes sure his feet are securely placed behind on an invisible line.
I hope he cures that part.
I will never forget him lighting up Codrington. I thought Jaidon was dead.
Green did knock down Miranda in the 8th of their fight. It's hard to know the degree his medical problems hampered him in that fight.

162 pounds is too light for him. Green has been a light heavyweight before and melting down looks like it took something out of him.

Guys, the difference maker will be how comfortable Miranda is at 166. Abraham should have no problem but if Miranda struggles with the weight, which I think will happen. That's where I see the edge for AA cause he'll be able to take his breaks and Miranda won't have the energy to take advantage of that.

From what I've heard, Miranda is doing alright with weight.

Don;t get me wrong, he might have cut down the weight. The problem is that if the majority of that weight he's cut down is muscle, which I believe is. Then at fight night his endurance and strenght might not be the same as it was in training.

or maybe I am just trying to rationalize my risky bet. I can't believe the bookies have AA as the favourite, he shouldn't be.

Being in Florida, I am surprised of that also. I could see a pick em at best. But no doubt the smart money goes on Miranda, and I think Miranda by UD is the smartest of all. Great return for an outcome that is very realistic.

Anyhow, yes, Miranda is doing absolutely fantasic with his weight for the first time that I can remember before a fight (especially this far out). I agree about where the weight is coming from could be a factor, but since he has been sparring and training in the low 170's this past week, I am pretty confident that he is going to be fine. The last few pounds should come off easily the next few days. He will be arriving on Tuesday morning and there is a public workout the same afternoon.

thats fine...

and I notice you are choosing your own words very carefully so NOT to be quoted on the 22nd...

We can only take that as a sign of weakness and low confidence

MAY THE BEST MAN WIN MY FRIEND...
we can probably both agree that as an overall well rounded boxer, Arthur Abraham has the superior skills...
Miranda has to catch him slippin to stand a chance... I trust Arthur to be sharp enough not to get caught.

Don't worry vanes. Pantera2000 has made plenty sig worthy quotes in the build-up to this fight!

But I'm not one to use those kind of ownage-tactics.............. I think........

[βetamax]

Abraham is a horrible boxer. I've seen better skill at toughman contests.

I got 20k on Miranda who wants in?
